The extraordinary single-owner collection included big-ticket vintages of Petrus, Romanee-Conti, Chateau Cheval Blanc, and Krug
The second-highest wine sale in the U.S. was recorded this week with a single-owner offering at Sotheby’s that totaled US$9.3 million.
“This exceptional result is a testament to the unrivaled quality of the wine and clarity of the collector’s vision, setting the foundation for a successful fall season at Sotheby’s,” says Nick Pegna, who was appointed as Sotheby’s global head of Wine & Spirits in June. “When I first walked into this Monumental Cellar in May of 2022, I was immediately struck by the sheer volume of Pétrus in this collection,” Cubbage said in the auction notes. “Two rooms in the cellar were filled solely with Pétrus and stacks of wooden cases formed its far wall. I marveled at the sight. … This sale represents one of the greatest offerings of Pétrus I’ve ever encountered.
The noteworthy concentration of large format bottles—which included three-liter jeroboams of Dom Pérignon, double magnums of Screaming Eagle, and imperials of 1982 Bordeaux by the dozen—reflected the efforts undergone in sourcing such rarities as well as the collector’s penchant for sharing his wines with others.
